China's economy has been getting worse by the day since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. Adding to the stress of being poor, people now are forced to create their own coins! Since China is concerned about their money issues, the Manchurian troops thought that it would be the perfect time to invade China because they seemed to be powerless and unfocused due to the economy problems. The Manchurian troops succeeded in taking over the Ming Empire and has now created the Qing Empire. The Ming Dynasty was overthrown because of China's economy issues. If the country had worked harder on the economy instead of letting it get worse, than the Manchurians would not have come to take over China, because China would not have seemed so unprepared and unfocused. The Emperor should have spent more time caring for his country than himself. The Emperor was careless and only cared for himself because he never did anything to better the economy. While the Emperor was splurging on himself, other unfortunate people were forced to make their own money! Then when the coins are accidentally made with lead and the value of them drops, the Emperor blames everyone but himself. The Emperor should have hired someone who would create the coins correctly to create the money for China. Another reason that the Emperor should have spent more time bettering his country is that he did not provide food to his people before a famine began. It does not make sense that an Emperor, someone who claims he is the perfect leader, a good person and who has loads of money does not spend some of that money on food for their people. Also, The Emperor should not have accepted the help of the Manchurian troops because after they defeated the rebels they took over the Ming Dynasty, the Emperor should have trusted that his army has skilled enough to take on the rebels without any outside help.
Many people go against ideas and thoughts about how terrible the Emperor, government and economy because they are scared. Most people are afraid to speak up because they are worried that they will be punished or executed for saying harsh things about the Emperor, government and economy. Also, all that people want is to fit in, so going against the government would make them a complete outcast. Those who are scared to voice their opinion are wrong because the Emperor, government and economy is definitely not perfect and many people know that it is not perfect, but they just will not say anything. People who have the same opinions on the Emperor, government and economy as me are right because they are not afraid to say what they are thinking. Those who go against the government know that what they have to say is important because they are speaking for those who believe that our Emperor, government and economy needs to improve but they are just too afraid to say so their selves
The Emperor should have focused more on bettering China because without money the country cannot function. Money is needed for shelter, food, everyday essentials, to create even more money and to even run a country. If the Emperor created a stable money system, the Manchurians would not have attacked them because China would not have seemed so weak. If the economy was stable than the Emperor could have spent more time focusing on preparing his army to defend his country, and maybe the Ming Dynasty would not have been overthrown.
